THE BLOODY HOLLIES (USA)

Interview     Music     Facebook Event     Press

is a rock’n’roll band from San Diego, California. During their European tour they will make a show in Budapest at RNR666 Party soon. It’s a good occasion for a short interview with the founder Wesley  Doyle. 

I think you have some garage rock impressions, but The Bloody Hollies play simple rock. What’s your opinion about the recent garage rock wave? What kind of bands do you listen at present?

There was a lot of good stuff that came out over the past 10 years. I really only liked stuff that I thought was original though. And originality and „garage rock” don’t really seem to mix a lot these days. I’m still a really big fan of the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. They were one of the bands that made me want to start my own. I listen to DEVO, Led Zeppelin, Gary Numan, AC/DC, Queen, probably the most. But I listen to a lot of hip hop. Everyone in the band still listens to Notorious B.I.G.

Originally you are come from Buffalo, but some years ago you moved to San Diego. Maybe it’s the most remote city from Buffalo within US. Why San Diego?

I used to be in the Marine Corps and used to come out here a bunch when friends of mine were stationed here. So it wasn’t really that foreign of a city to me. I always liked it here and it was kind of a natural transition. Plus I can’t complain about the weather.

How can you find the new band mates after the move?

It was really easy; I think I replied to an ad online by Joey looking to jam with someone. Originally I just wanted Joey to come to SXSW with the existing band and be a 2nd guitar player. Eventually it just kind of worked out and we ended up replacing Mike Argento with Matt Bennett. I consider myself pretty lucky to have been able to find them so easily

In the 90s in San Diego was an independent record label, the Vinyl Communication. It released the records of Tit Wrench for example. Do you know them?

I don’t know them. There are a few record labels out here including Swami Records which is run by Jon Reis who is the singer from Rocket From The Crypt. San Diego is known for really nice weather, beaches, tourism, etc, but you’d be surprised that there are actually a ton of pretty cool rock n roll bands.

Blues Punk Rock and Roll

Sept 05 Budapest, Zappa/Trafik

The history of The Bloody Hollies has begun in 1999, when Wesley Doyle (vocals, guitar, harp) demobilized from the Marine Corps and formed the band with a buddy – by his own admission – under the influence of AC/DC, DEVO, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and The Oblivians. Besides, because of the slide guitar and Wesley’s singing voice their music resembles to the Australian Rose Tattoo too.

Their 1st album has released by a relatively unknown label, Garage-Pop, but the second one come out with Sympathy for the Record Industry. Some label mates: White Stripes, Bassholes, Billy Childish, Bob Log, GG Allin, Melvins, Mummies, R.L. Burnside, Roky Erickson, Oblivians, Spacemen 3, Tav Falco and so on. The band has moved from Buffalo (NY) to the other sites of the States, San Diego (CA). (I think it is the most remote city from Buffalo within US.) Their last three albums have released by the Alive Records, and they don’t roll the shit.

Misfits’ Galleon, like 160 Horsepower

 digital EP by Smoky Carrot

I have found only one archive video from 1985. Look!

The singer is Barry White. It’s not a joke. It’s his real name. He has changed it to Barrence Whitfield because of a famous singer has changed his name to Barry White ten years before. He was 11 in 1966 when „My uncle took us to see the James Brown Revue and that was my first witness of a fantastic show. (…) all the girls were screaming and the guys were going AAAHHH!!! It was wild. It was probably the biggest moment of my life.” Smaller, but important moments: after the gospel choir he became a drummer, and played funk, soul and prog rock music.

1983 Boston: after his punk (DMZ) and garage rock (Lyres) band the guitarist Peter Greenberg has decided to form an instrumental rock and roll band, but Barry White upset his plans when he began unexpectedly singing at the record store where they worked. Moreover it came to light that both men very like the old rock and roll records. Naturally they recorded some old hits to their albums. And those shows! „The people ripping the seats from the floor and people were diving into the audiences.”

After two albums the original line-up disbanded in 1986 because of Greenberg and the bassist moved on, but Barrence rebuilt and kept alive the band until 1994. The three core member reunited in 2010 and now

The SACW is the solo project of the Australian musician, Craig Dermody. I have been following with attention to his works since his Para Vista Social Club LP (2011).  Not long ago he moved to New York.

Beside the fantastic LP here is a Lantern 7″ too

You get it; put it and some moments hence you get the bang! Such is a perfect start for a rock and roll record. And the Rock’n’Roll Rorschach starts exactly in this way. But in this case there are the recognition and the surprise too in the bang of first track. Hey! Where did I hear this rhythm? Where? Where? Got it! The Evil Eye rhymes with Iggy Pop’s Lust for Life and not only with its title. And Iggy and The Stooges stay with us throughout. Moreover they whip out a saxophone too. But the Lantern has got mood to the sax from the Rolling Stones’ Exile in Main Street album. They listened to it around the recording time luckily for us. Their music is hard rhythm’n’blues & raw rock’n’roll, sometimes such like a little slow-motion Cramps. Yes, the Philly trio has made such a great album that their every ideal could proud of it.

„Eddie Spaghetti grew up in Tucson, Arizona trying desperately to ignore the country music that floated all around him.” He turned on the way of heavy metal and punk, has became the bassist and vocalist of the Supersuckers. On his second solo album you can find country rock and roll with a little punk feeling.
